3.2.10 Valve-Train Wear, Ford Diesel Engine Test (Consult Ford Engineering for test requirements)
3.2.10.1 Ford Engineering should be notified prior to scheduling/conducting the Ford Valve-Train Wear test. Test requester shall also provide test information, including, test lab, formulation code and test identification number prior to the start of the test.
3.2.11 Additional requirements:
Preliminary approval may be granted without the valve train wear test based on evaluation of other data by Ford Motor Company. This could include but is not limited to the following:
3.2.11.1 Previously licensed CJ-4 formulation (licensed prior to January 1, 2016) that also meets and is licensable to CK-4.
3.2.11.2 Previously licensed CJ-4 formulation (licensed prior to January 1, 2016), with only the addition of an antioxidant boost to pass the T-13 test that also meets and is licensable to CK-4. All other engine tests beside the T-13 and D4037 aeration tests must have been conducted on the original un-boosted CJ-4 formulation. Based on the type of antioxidant boost used, level 1 or 2 support data must be provided to show the antioxidant boost will not degrade oil performance in the other tests. Any other formulation rebalancing due to the addition of the antioxidant must also be supported with data to show no degradation in performance in other tests.
3.2.11.3 Other testing conducted on the 6.7L engine may be used if approved by Ford Motor Company prior to testing. This can include, vehicle testing or, dynamometer testing.
3.2.12 Once the Valve-Train Wear Test is available to run, all formulations approved against the requirements of 3.2.11 must be run and pass the test to stay on the list of approved formulations. The test must be run within 6 months of the test becoming available. All required ASTM engine tests shall be conducted in accordance with the most recently approved
procedures as described in ASTM Standards and the applicable ASTM Standards Research Reports and Information Letters. All tests under surveillance by ASTM must be conducted using test equipment monitored by and calibrated to the requirements of the ASTM Test Monitoring Center.
3.3 PHYSICAL/CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
3.3.1 High Temp/High Shear Viscosity at 150 °C 3.5 cP min (ASTM D4683)
3.3.2 Phosphorus (ASTM D5951) 0.10 - 0.12 % (minimum limit may be waived based on valve-train wear test results)
3.3.3 Sulfated Ash (ASTM D874) 1.0 % max
3.3.4 Noack Volatility (ASTM D5800) 13 % max
3.3.5 Seal Compatibility (ASTM D7216)
3.3.6 Physical Appearance and Odor Shall be clear and bright with no objectionable odor.
3.3.7 Contaminants

3.4 QUALIFICATION PROCEDURE
3.4.1 Documentation
Applicant must furnish to Fuels and Lubricants Engineering a completed and certified copy of the attached Supplement A and test reports demonstrating full compliance with all the requirements of this specification. The test reports must include results on both the candidate oil and the appropriate ASTM reference oils. The standard photographs of the test components are considered an essential part of the required test documentation. The oil sample code used for identification in each test document must be consistent. Any deviation in sample code
uniformity must be explained and shown on the cover of each test report. All tests must be certified by a qualified and authorized representative of the test facility. The applicant shall identify all the formulation changes and modifications that occurred in the test program that coincide with the tests listed in the ACC Monitoring Agency summary. Individual formulations should be listed in Supplement A, and for ACC registered tests, identified by the line item number and the formulation code. Fuels and Lubricants Engineering will review all data and determine if it adheres to the requirements of this specification. After review of the data, Fuels and Lubricants Engineering will notify the applicant of its decision in writing. If approved, the applicant will receive a letter of approval and will be placed on a list of approved formulations. At this time the applicant may display that their product is approve to this specification. If the applicant's formulation is not approved, Fuels and Lubricants Engineering will contact them in writing with the reason for rejection and additional sting/documentation necessary to continue reviewing the formulation.
3.4.2 "Read Across" Guidelines
It is recommended that all performance tests be conducted on the final formulation. The API Base Oil Interchangeability Guidelines and the API Guidelines for SAE Viscosity-Grade Read Across may be used. However, Fuels and Lubricants Engineering reserves the right deviate from tthese guidelines and additional testing or support data may be requested.
